"A most interesting visit, with informed guides and for me, it brought back memories of happy days when I started work at the site in 1960"
"We tend to think that the history of Wales is written in coal dust and iron and steel. In fact it is copper that lies at the heart of Wales’s development as an industrial nation."
Ten years from now, Hafod-Morfa will be a landmark site for heritage, learning, innovation, and community engagement
"A fascinating insight into a disappearing world. You can easily imagine how different the area must have looked when the industry was at its height"
The site was once entirely covered in a maze of buildings and slag heaps created as a by-product of the copper smelting process
